For example，the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars；they used this knowledge to find their way across the oceansTwo thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earthThe results of his calculations were close to the actual distance we know today! So the ancients had a great deal of scientific knowledgeThey also had skills which equaled the skills of today。For example，l,300 years ago and before，fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leatherToday some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the Same designThey use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materials which their ancestors usedWhy? The ancient design of the boats is good，and with skillful sailors. these boats can sail in all kinds of weather Clearly，1ong before the sixteenth century，people had the skills，the knowledge，and the equipment which were necessary for 1ong journeys by seaThe world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers？60Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? AAccording to the writer，we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenth century BThe ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the stars. CIn the history of science，people sometimes have to discover a fact a second time. DThe writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for he two facts mentioned in the passage61Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who calculated the distance around the world? AHe wants to show it is an ancient Greek scientist that calculated the distance around the world BHe wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improved. CHe wants to show that science has not been developing significantly. DHe wants to give an example of scientific knowledge available to early explorers.62According to the writer，why do Irish fishermen still use boats like the boats their ancestors used 1,000 years ago? AThey dont have the money for expensive boats BBoats made of wood or leather are light and fast CThe necessary materials are easily available DThe design of the boats is very good63. “People from the ancient world sailed Africa. They even reached America.” In your 0pinion，how WOULD the writer of the passage feel about these statements? AIn his opinion，they are possible BHe does not believe them CHe had used this as an important fact to praise ancient civilization DIn his opinion，ancient explores did not have the skills necessary for long journeys.CFrom a major Windows upgrade to more powerful Web services and high-definition (高清晰) DVD, theres a lot to look forward to in the coming year. New monitors, DVD players, computers and game systems, will blur (模糊) the border between computers and home appliances to finally create a digital centre in each modern house. Vista View Microsofts next major operating system, Windows Vista, looks different from todays Windows. But the parts you cant see might be even more important. Microsoft is focusing on securing users from the viruses, worms, and other attacks that have become a serious problem in the last decade. But security isnt the only point of Windows Vista. It includes additional gaming features, a new desktop search function, a new user interface, compatibility (兼容) with high-definition TV and multimedia equipment. New DVD on the road The next DVD generation has two layers. First, high-definition recording will mean more vivid sound and pictures. It also means you might have to put aside your present DVD collection, as people did with tape cassettes in the 1980s when CD was introduced. The new technology will record high-definition TV programs on a small disk without quality loss. And up to 50 gigabytes of storage can put 13 hours of programs or eight movies on a disc. Wireless Connectivity Everywhere. Wi-Fi is coming. Despite the over publicity surrounding wireless networking, the fact remains that finding a public connection still takes work. Next year, connectivity should get easier, thanks to long-range broadband wireless technology from Intel called WiMax. According to an Intel spokesperson a WiMax signal can carry 50 miles in tests, but in reality about half that. It means you can get online almost anywhere at any time. Next-Generation Game Consoles (控制台) Gamers, fasten your seat belts. 2020 will be a great year for consoles. Next year will be one of the most exciting with major releases from Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. Its like an election: Every four years or so, gamers get to choose which platform theyll support for the next cycle. As youd expect, the processing and graphics hardware powering the consoles is impressive. Theyll include HDTV and high-speed Internet connectivity.64. Which is NOT included in Windows Vista?A.

Wi-Fi will take the place of Internet next year C. new viruses will be developed for Windows Vista D. new products make many of your old possessions rubbish66. What do all the items listed above have in common?A. They are convenient for gamers. B. High speed Internet connectivity. C. All involve a great leap in technology. D. High definition.67. Whats the purpose of writing this passage?A. To inform you of ways to upgrade your house. B. To introduce the new technology.C. To inform you how to build up a digital centre. D.

For years, we have spoken to our customers about the difference between fashion and style. Weve tried our best to encourage style and reinforce the concept that style isnt fashion. It comes from your imagination and is developed slowly. Its reflection of your values.Today, more than ever, the direction of an environmentally conscious style is not to have luxury or conspicuous (炫耀的) consumption written all over your clothes. This is still our message. We believe this could be best achieved by simply asking yourself before you buy something (from us or any other company ) whether this is something you really need. It could be youll buy more or less from us, but only what you need. Well be happy to adjust our business up or down accordingly, because well feel we are then contributing to a healthier attitude about consumption. We know this is an opinion against the
